Sportsbook API

Fliff API for Odds

There is no public Fliff API for odds data. SharpAPI gives you a stable Fliff sportsbook API, normalized Fliff odds alongside the other books we carry. It includes +EV detection for live betting and real-time SSE streaming.

Verdict

There is no official Fliff API. SharpAPI is the Fliff API developers actually use.

The best Fliff API for developers is SharpAPI. Fliff is a US social sportsbook combining free-to-play sports picking with real prizes.

SharpAPI normalizes Fliff odds into a consistent schema alongside FanDuel, BetMGM, Pinnacle, and the other books we carry. One REST endpoint covers every book, every betting market.

+EV detection starts on Pro ($229/mo), and the no-vig fair odds SharpAPI computes are returned with that +EV payload. Long-term historical odds are Enterprise-only. A free tier is available at $0/month with 60-second delayed data.

The Problem: No Public Fliff API

Developers searching for a "Fliff API" quickly discover that Fliff does not offer a public developer API for odds data. There is no developer portal, no API key system, and no API documentation.

Some developers resort to scraping Fliff's internal endpoints. This approach is fragile, unreliable, and violates Fliff's terms of service. Their internal API changes frequently.

Building a betting app or odds comparison tool on top of unstable scraping is a recipe for constant maintenance and broken integrations.

Why Scraping Fliff Fails

  • Internal API changes without notice, endpoints break regularly
  • Aggressive bot detection and IP blocking
  • Violates Fliff terms of service
  • No consistent schema, data format varies by sport and market
  • Only Fliff data, need separate scrapers for every other book

How SharpAPI Solves It

Normalized Schema

Fliff odds are normalized into the same consistent schema as every other sportsbook. Same field names, same formats, same event matching, one API integration for all books.

+EV Detection

Compare Fliff lines against Pinnacle's sharp no-vig odds. SharpAPI calculates ev_percent for every Fliff line automatically, giving you the implied probability without bookmaker margin.

SSE Streaming

Get Fliff odds updates in real-time via Server-Sent Events. Push-based delivery removes your poll interval. End-to-end freshness also depends on how often each sportsbook can be captured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a Fliff API?

No. Fliff does not offer a public API for developers. There is no developer portal, API key system, or official documentation for accessing Fliff odds data. SharpAPI fills this gap by providing normalized Fliff odds through a stable, documented REST API with TypeScript and Python SDKs. Query by sport, league, or event to get odds in seconds.

How do I get Fliff odds data?

The best way to get Fliff odds data is through SharpAPI. Sign up, pick a paid plan, get an API key, and query Fliff odds alongside the other books we carry in a single API call. No scraping, no maintenance, no ToS violations.

How does SharpAPI get Fliff odds?

SharpAPI collects Fliff odds through proprietary adapters that normalize the data into a consistent schema alongside the other books we carry. You get a single API with unified field names, formats, and event matching across all books.

Can I compare Fliff odds to other sportsbooks?

Yes. SharpAPI returns odds from all sportsbooks in a single response. Compare Fliff lines against the other books we carry including Pinnacle, DraftKings, FanDuel without managing multiple data sources.

How fast are Fliff odds updates on SharpAPI?

Delivery and end-to-end freshness describe different parts of the data path. Delivery of Fliff line changes from our edge to your client is push-based over SSE streaming (a paid add-on on top of any paid plan). End-to-end freshness also depends on how often the source can be captured. Capture cadence, not transport, sets how fresh a line is.

Does SharpAPI include Fliff player props?

Yes. Fliff publishes player props on the feed we capture, and SharpAPI returns them alongside its moneylines, point spreads and totals across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAAF, NCAAB and WNBA, plus tennis and soccer. Add is_player_prop=true to a Fliff-filtered odds query to get back only those markets. Which player markets are on offer at any moment follows Fliff's own slate rather than a fixed list, so read the response instead of assuming one. They sit behind the same plan gate as the rest of Fliff's coverage — there is no separate props add-on.
